Five family members arrested in Little Village fake ID sting

Five family members were among seven people arrested by federal agents Thursday morning for allegedly running an operation that manufactured and sold fake IDs in the Southwest Side Little Village neighborhood while paying a local street gang for protection.

The investigation, in which undercover agents and cooperating witnesses purchased bogus documents, included the purchase of a software program used to manufacture illicit driver&#8217;s licenses, Social Security and residency cards, as well paper to make such IDs, according to a release from the U.S. Attorney&#8217;s office.
